CYCLOPS ROAD

CYCLOPS ROAD

A Poem by Baby Ricochet
"

I actually wrote something kids.

"
Riding shotgun with a Cyclops 
Who's talking s**t at lights 
He rides a pimped out Escalade 
His sick rims rolling tight 
Bird dogging b*****s on the fly 
His player's wagging tongue 
He knows where all the good s**t is 
He's down with everyone
Chews blunts between his golden teeth 
He hits a metal pipe 
His Cabin's full of booming bass 
The east coast gangsta type
Cruise the streets with derelicts 
This town of dying light 
Where kids flip burgers in a pen
or twenty years to life 
The crack w***e paradise night life
of ethnic urban blight 
The world the Cyclops wanders in 
It was his birthright plight 
Cyclops one eye on the rear view
A prowler's flashing lights 
The White Knights get suspicious 
of Cyclops out at night 
White Knights search for contraband 
Cyclops gives attitude 
They want to take his Escalade 
Cyclops to be subdued 
A filthy Cyclops isn't human 
or so the white knight said 
He pulled out his chrome revolver
and shot the cyclops dead 
Cyclops dead eyed on the asphalt 
Blood pouring from his skin 
He wanted this one victory
But white knights always win 
The limelight comes to fade away 
On lookers wander home 
Cyclops left to dead end streets
Forever he will roam

"i fought the law and the law won" (bobby fuller four)

the Cyclops is born to the streets, already on the run, already in the hole...missing that other eye that could have him on a different side of the streets...

intense, Mark...and as usual...you make strong statements about the state of life.
